Renshaw has a feeling that the servants are spying on him. Jenks warns him that there are "queer things going on In the house.

Everything had been so normal, so human, so reassuring this morning, that the experience of the previous night, the noise of that crawling thing in the corridor, already seemed like a dream.

It was good to have real work to do, and to know that he could do it It was good to feel that he was earning his way. A mild surprise awaited him at noon. He entered the dining room a few minutes after the summons of the luncheon bell, and found not only Campbell, Verity, and Mrs. Pardee at the table, hut a strange woman seated at the right of the host. She was a gracious and even majestic woman, with a figure of the late forties, the e hnir of seventy, and a dark face and singularly brilliant eyes that She gramight have been thirty-fivciously inclined her head when the young man was presented, but did not speak. Renshaw bowed and took his place In equal silence. Tills, it appeared, was Madame Uvoeslef, whose passage to Europe on the twenty-seconhe had just engaged.
